Unfortunately, my dark mind just went to the scene of Brando as the Godfather, playing in the tomato garden with his grandson...

There is a rotavirus vaccine:

STOP KILLING BLACK PEOPLE!! JUST FUCKING STOP!!!!

She was shaking with rage. Typical of Trump, who surrounds himself with toadies and women he is paying to suck up to him, to be unable to recognize this phenomenon, since he never sees it in his daily life.

Was she going to die without this surgery? No. Then she doesn’t need it. She can transition on her own dime when she gets out.

Judging by the FB posts of my crazy right-wing aunt, white people are the true deciders on how oppressed minorities and LBGTs are.

Reminds me of:

Unpopular opinion: Jennifer Lawrence is unbelievably overrated.

The hypocrisy must be pointed out, though. I shed no tears and feel no grossness for pointing out that the racist, anti-immigrant bigot whose grandparents were immigrants probably married a woman who was here illegally.

No it makes him a fucking jabroni for eating his fried chicken with a fork and knife

Were they mustard, or were they Harvest Gold? My mother insisted to the day she died that there was a difference.

I think it should piss you off whether you voted for him or not, as it was indeed shitty.

What pisses me right off, as an educator, is the assumption that they can replace or out-do the knowledge and experience of hundreds of teachers just by reading some books (or something? or with their natural skills I guess?)

I’m not receptive to this idea because whether schooling works for parents isn’t the point. The point is to educate children. And given the relatively short shrift paid to what her children get out of this arraignment (they socialize fine! If they dont want to be inside, they don't have to be!) I think the focus is in…

Because YOU not using physics or biology is a pretty poor predictor of whether your kids are going to need to, or more importantly want to have the option of, using physics or biology. If you want to make sure your kid is a potter, then all you need to teach him is pottery. But that’s pretty selfish, because neither…

I’m not going to shit on your opinion, but it’s important to expose every kid to those concepts (just like musical arts/literature/history etc.) regardless of perceived use.

This needs to be stated. Yeah, there are shitty teachers and schools, but your average student in an average area should be going to public school. Social education aside, a teacher has more background in a subject matter than a jack-of-all-trades wannabe parent (in the majority of cases).

Seems to me like kids still need to learn math, grammar, literature, history, biology, physics, etc. From people that know about that stuff.

Seeing “Prince” and”Paul McCartney” in the same headline makes me want to get Paul into a safe room or bubble. 2016 is only half way over. It better leave Sir Paul alone.
